The beautiful child

Chapter 12

(Vicente's P.O.V)

Just as I was about to leave to meet Carisa my father called out to me as I sighed a sigh of frustration. I really didn't feel like having any kind of conversation with him.

"Vicente..she is here tu Amiga" He called out as he gave me that stare, yes the look I knew all to well. He was caught and he needed me, no demanded me to lie for him.
Smirking I met my mothers curious gaze as if questioning, wondering why I wouldn't say I had a friend who was in need.

I looked at the girl who was covered in blood. She never did look up, but her stance scared as her golden brown hair cover her face.

"She's an old friend I met in the U.S Mamita..you know Carisa shouldn't know this."

"Why is she covered in blood Vicente..She shaken?" My mother urged as she held the girl.

"She was here on vacation, some men tried to hurt her...I'll find them and let them know how a woman should be treated"

"Clean her up Vicente before leaving!"

"You did teach him to take after you" my father added as he nodded to Angel as he eyed me hatefully, envy filled his eyes as he stared. I agreed and put my arm around the fragile girl and led her to my room.

My father and Mother continued about their business as Angel followed me. Once out of sight my brother pulled her from me and shoved me against the wall.

"Keep your distance playboy, this ones mine..if she escapes I'll have your head weather our Mother agrees or not" He growled threatening me as I met his eyes and smiled pissing him off more.

"What you and our father have doesn't interest me Angel but for now let me do what our mother asked" I said strongly shoving him back with the same force he had and adjusted my shirt.

He angrily growled releasing the girl and went back downstairs leaving me alone wanting to know more about her and this whole situation.

Opening my door I pulled her in and shut it as she looked around but never did she look at me.

"Do you have a name?" I asked but she kept silent as if afraid to talk to me. Walking to her I looked down at her hoping she'd at least let me do this without any problems.

"Look the bath is right there " I said pointing to my shower " I'll give you some of my night clothes okay"

She nodded and went closing the door behind her just as my father walked in.

"Watch her carefully Vicente..Do as your mother says but do not let her escape!"

"I didn't ask to be part of your little games did I? I'm already engage to someone who turns my stomach yet you give me another girl to watch" I shouted trying to keep the girl from hearing. His high demands and propositions began to annoy me.
Taking a deep breath I tried to calm myself before I did what I wouldn't want.

"And her name?" I demanded holding a cold stare that greeted my eyes.

" Hailey.." He growled and looked to the door where the girl was behind as the sound of the shower continued.

I didn't know why I felt the need to waste my time with her when my fathers business never mattered to me before. He turned to leave but turned back as I watched him glaring at him hatefully.

"See that your reputation with woman doesn't involve this one" He ordered grinning wikedly.
Most likely he wanted her for his amusement.

Agreeing I turned to retreat to my closet and find her a shirt and some sweats when the sound of my door closing was heard leaving me to myself when my phone went off.

Shaking my head I looked at my cell. Ten missed calls and fifteen text messages ALL from Carisa.
Laughing softly I scanned through them as she grew angrier every time a new one was sent.

I texted her back that my mother was her a couple of weeks and she needed a favor. She quickly responded how she loves my mother and she loves me. Carisa was just nothing I wanted in a woman.

Throwing the phone on my bed I knocked on the door and handed the clothes to Hailey once she opened the door a bit.

After I sat on my bed thinking about this whole situation I was in.I never asked to be born into this life, if anything I give anything to be part of a real family. To not be forced to give up my life for business.

Laying my head in the palms of my hands I felt stressed.
What I wanted was things that never will exist like a woman.

A woman strong, idependant, and smart, but can still be gentle, caring and understanding.
Someone who can love me past my looks, imperfections and money.

I wanted someone who could challenge me and at the same time understand I'm not perfect.
Carisa was Not her and neither was any of any of the many woman I've had my fun with.

I had to give up my ideas of a woman for Carisa, a business deal I'm beginning to think I was born for.
The door opened snapping me out of my many taughts as the girl stepped out her gaze lowered but her features more vivid.

She was beautiful as her skin glowed flawlessly. Her full lips parted as if she wanted to speak but stopped as he damped hair hung by her small waist.

It was no mystery why my brother was infatuated with her. Her natural beauty alone could hold any mans gaze.

Clearing my voice I shook it off remembering she's a business deal.

" I have to be somewhere, you can sleep here till this whole situation is done with" I said turning to leave as she looked at the window."its no use where upstairs plus Angel has you watched" I finished as she sat on my bed and grabbed her knees nodding as I walked out locking my door.
